This. This is my go-to dessert! It takes just minutes to put together and I with such a basic ingredient list, I always have the ingredients to make it.
 
When I have a dinner party, I can mix it together quickly as I talk to quests and put it in the oven. It’s hot and ready to eat by the time we finish the meal.

The only way you can get a dessert any easier is to purchase one already made and that would totally not be as tasty!
 
 
PMc’s Caramel Cobbler is one of those quickly made ‘dump’ type desserts. Do you know what I mean when I say that? Basically, you layer (dump) everything in a pan and bake it. There’s no pulling out the electric mixer, no kneading, and no waiting for something to rise! It’s a straightforward, super-easy layer-and-bake dessert.

The milk, brown sugar, and butter cook to create a rich, creamy caramel sauce hugging the cobbler. It’s best served with a big spoon straight out of the pan warm with good vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
 
Paradise for some people may be a sunny beach with palm trees and cocktails. Paradise for me would be eating as much of this as I wanted without gaining an ounce! #justsayin I’m sure the streets of heaven are lined with PMc’s Caramel Cobbler, it just looks like gold!

PMc’s Caramel Cobbler

  1. First of all, I recommend real butter for this dessert. The caramel sauce will not cook correctly with a substitute.
  2. However, you can substitute all-purpose flour for self-rising flour. To make your own, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You will need to adjust this ratio for the amount called for in this recipe.
  3. You can use whole milk, 1% or 2%. Typically, I use 2% milk.

    I made this Christmas morning because my husband loves all things caramel and we had all the ingredients on hand. Cobblers are one of my favorite desserts because they’re easy and taste amazing. This caramel cobbler is phenomenal! I’ve found that some of the best dishes require the simplest ingredients. This is one of those. My daughter talked me into making another one yesterday lol!

    Hello, that recipe sounds scrumptious! Uuummmm ! Now here’s my simple question. Can you add a can of fruit to thus recipe? Like peaches or apples? Even blackberries? I can just taste the yummy caramel with the fruit! What do you think? I think I’m going to try it!

    Paula, I noticed your Snickerdoodle Cobbler, Caramel Cobbler, and Pecan Cobbler are all virtually the same recipe, except you add pecans to the Pecan Cobbler. Wouldn’t it have been more straightforward to present a single recipe with a pecan variation? The only difference I saw between Snickerdoodle and Caramel was slightly more butter in the Caramel one. Really?? Am I missing something?

    Is 3/4 cup milk accurate? I’ve made this a few times with 3/4 cup milk and I have a stiff dough, not a batter. Given the other recipes I use for quick cobbler, I’ve been making this 1 1/2 cup milk instead. It turns out, but I keep guessing when I show people this recipe.

    Please Advise?

    Also, every single time I’ve made this, I’ve gotten one small serving out of each one… Everyone eats it before I get back to it.. This is an awesome recipe!

    Thank you for sharing! It’s really delicious, and everyone had seconds. I might have done something wrong, though, because I had to double the amount of milk to get my batter to be the consistency of that in the picture. I reduced the amount of water, and it was delicious! I will be trying the pecan cobbler next.
